This guide has been the hard work of our awesome students and is found to be exceptionally cool by the iFixit staff.
Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide will help you to replace the motherboard for the Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse (model name PRO-MS and PRO-M-D).
The motherboard is the central computing component that allows all of the physical inputs on the mouse to be translated into the computer. This guide will show you how to remove all the parts necessary to access the motherboard and how to remove the motherboard itself.
Please note that the motherboard is prone to damage, so be careful when replacing it. Hold the new motherboard by the edges and avoid touching the board surface.
Before you begin the repair, power off the mouse and disconnect it from any devices or the charger.
